I'm slightly above 182.5cm
BTW im 18 now
But if anyone says he feels short at 5'10 I can't understand didn't saw taller girls at that height...
So you grew 2-3cm in a year. That is more logical considering your age.
You sure had a horrible posture if you lost 5cm approx because of forward head posture... Just by solving that you surely look much better.
Now just work on your body (sport/lifting) and you are set for life

Yeah I mentioned that also in one of my previous posts I think. That's exactly what I do now once you hit about 5'10 no one cares about your height sure there are some girls that prefer taller guys but if they just reject you because you're 5'10 they're not gonna worth it. My growth plates are still open but I don't care if I'm done with growing now. One thing I want to add a lot of girls think I'm atleast 6'1 so guessing it's because guys tends to add some inches to their height

Yep. I am 171-172 an I get called 175-180 ( I was actually called 180cm tall a few times) all the time. No one thinks I am as tall as my real height.
My reason : Internet. Also I know that with only one LL I would be taller than 90 % or more women that I see outside (at least in my shoes)
My reason? The reality.
1.70-1.75 is not enough for most of men as they still face problems on dating.
The real question is why some people over 1.78-80 want to do LL, not why an 1.70 (5.7) man wants it as 1.70 is just a slight more than the average height of women so it is still not enough for most of men to feel ok.
At least this is the way I see it.
If I was taller than 1.78 I wouldn't do LL. But now at 1.74 evening height my height is still a drawback at dating and I see it every day in my life.

I know very well this 1.78 feeling. This is really strange. We are almost at the same height and I'm constantly thinking that 1.78 is the threshold too. 1.75 is okay, not short but 1.78 would be the end of all problems. I'm 1.77-1.76.7 when I wake up and 1.75-1.74,5 before sleep. Especially in the morning, I'm almost 1.78 but I still want to be 1.78. I don't know why I think it is all psychological. When you know "I'm 1.75" you automatically think that it is not that good but when know you are 1.78 you feel completely fine. But I guess that is wrong. For example, when I wear 3cm shoes I'm 1.78 and when I go to the college still there are lots of guys taller than me and I still question my height. The difference of 3 cm is not that much and with thick-soled shoes, we are completely fine at 1.75 I guess.
Also, it would be great to do another LL to be 1.80-1.81 (let's be safe and do 5 or 6 on femurs) but when I think about my torso, my short arms, the money for femurs and the time don't worth it.
Quote from: Scarfex on January 06, 2018, 03:03:24 PMCome from germany there's definitely girls above 5'7 - 5'8 depends a lot on origin country. In my opinion anything above 5'10 is acceptable. I don't care about this anymore since I'm 6ft now but I always felt really short under 5'10
That's because those are women from some of the tallest countries in the world. At 175cm/5'9, you'll be taller than the majority of women in the streets, even in those countries, and even if only by a few centimeters. 5'9 can't, by definition, be short, that being the case. Posts like "In my opinion anything above 5'10 is acceptable" only serve to feed into the height dysphoria of the majority of the members here, the most part who are 5'6 and below. In my opinion, anything above 6'1 is acceptable, as then you'll finally stop having problems not feeling tall compared to the women of the Dinaric Alps.

Are Turkish males taller now too? 175cm seems like a perfectly good height for the country. Do you still get height dysphoria?

Your reason: body dysmorphia disorder
Nothing wrong with having it, just admit it and move on. Stop trying to justify it and trying to convince others that its something other than BDD

Being less than average and think that as a problem is reality, not bdd.
I don't want to comvince anyone, people at about my height know the truth amd thats why the majority of them has a problem with that height which is not bad bad not enough either to feel completely ok.
When I was shorter, like you, I thought that being 1.74-5 would lose all my problems and yes is it a much much better height than 1.68 but still you face problems on dating.
Only after 1.78-80 that kind of problems stop. And this is the harsh reality, not bdd.
